    check it, I think there is a section or thread here were you post a pic of your car and some helpful bfc members will do some photoshop on it to show how your car will look with that mod.

    I don't understand why you would paint only your sideskirts black and keep your rear bumper and M3 BUMPER in full calypso. IMO, this just doesn't look right, but to each his own as they say.

    Say, you rammed the new style grille into the old nose panel? I'm thinking of trying it... what do you say? Easy to do?

    After thinking about it, the previous owners may have replaced the nose panel. I have all the records for the car, and that is not listed, so I assume it is the original panel, but I have been wrong in the past. It was a little tricky though.

    Here's some pics... right now my entire interior is apart waiting for black microsuede and leatherique redying. Can't wait!! I just hope my upholstery skills are up to snuff.

    BTW - Does anyone else think that chrome has potential on calypso? I've always thought chrome sucks, but I do kinda like my chrome DSII's...



    That's most recent, here's one from last summer:
